No curtains on windows, no instructions for using blinds, which were not attached to window frame

The location is a bit off, although main tourist destinations are so scattered around Kyoto, that it didnt matter that much in the end. Public transport is close by. There was very little space where to put our stuff (hang clothes etc).

Very friendly staff, spoke fluent English. The hotel is very new, clean and nice.

Narrow stairs to the second floor, lack of chair, low quality of slippers, lack of shelves in the shower, first shower not bath in our Japanese hotels experience, location is a bit far away from the center

Really new minimalistic hotel with aesthetic entrance garden and door. Very nice details that fulfill your sense of beauty, everything was actually new

It is perfect for minimalists. Maybe a few more comfort items such as a better chair for the desk. But that is just me. Others will love it.

A very nice small hotel run by a private family. Very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The location was great for me, it was where I needed to be. They were very accommodating and responsive to my needs. It was a safe and comfortable place traveling alone.

As not Japanese-speakers, we would appreciate some instructions in English in the room on how to use the heating system or the television. Be sure to ask for the WIFI too as there are no instructions for it in the room either. Location was not the best for us: you are almost 1h walking from the center of Kyoto. Only the Imperial Castel was easy to visit for us. We didn't find so many restaurants at night either. It seems more of a residential area. As it is new, the common space don't have heating system and there isn't a proper hall in the hotel yet. I believe it will be available soon though.

The hotel is quite new and you can see it as everything is new too. It is very clean and it has a good look. Staff is super gentle and they speak a very good English, always available to give you advices or directions. It is nearby some supermarkets and there is a clothes machine service super close (2m walk) which saved our trip!

Hotel was cozy and comfortable, nice and close to some cute places to eat and the Golden Temple. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The room was larger than most we've stayed at in Japan and had a nice balcony looking out to the mountains. Great for sunrise!

It would have been nice to have also some cups/ tea/ coffee in the room - there‘s a kettle, but without cups there‘s no use for it…

Nice design, clean, good location

Stayed in October 2023

Room had a kettle but no cups, glasses or tea or coffee. It was quite cold in April we didn't realise we could switch what appeared to be the aircon on as a heater until end of our stay. No facilities or lift to first floor only rooms. A guest house than hotel in reality. Location quite far from nearest metro about a 15min walk but taxi apps will collect you.

Lovely fluffy big towels! The room and bathroom were very modern. Manager was very friendly and willing to chat.

There is nothing besides a bed and TV stand/table in the room--no stools, chairs, side tables or folding luggage racks. The minimalist design seemed to be the priority consideration for traveler needs or comfort. Minimal service.

Bright room with big window to small balcony. Nice location in Nishijin near many small restaurants/café; great walking neighborhood. Comfortable king bed.

Regarding the hotel, maybe to have more info regarding places to visit and discover in the neighborhood.

The space and relaxing experience of the hotel. Also discovering the neighborhood was stimulating, a bit far from the touristic area but intentionally selected, so it cover my expectations regarding spending time with the locals.

Everything was perfect. Small hotel with a wonderful receptionist. The room was like a small apartment where you felt at home. There was nothing to complain about!

Sound insulation of windows are not good. Sound from the street was coming inside unfiltered. Surprisingly, that narrow street is becoming quite noisy on very early morning times.

Very cosy, very clean and well designed room. Very nice, kind and helpful staff. Location is little bit far away from city center, on the other hand closer to some temples and touristic places. There are local restaurants and conbinis nearby.

The hotel is modern and new. I like the style and the decor, very minimalist. However, some aspects bothered me: 1. There are no curtains in the room. If you are sensitive to light, you are surely not be able to sleep unless you have a sleep mask. 2. Besides not having curtains, the bottom half of the room window (that takes the full length and hight of the wall) had 100% transparent glass. Meaning you have absolutely no privacy in your hotel room as neighbors could easily see through your window. 3. No clean towels are provided on a daily basis. I understand the rooms are not cleaned every day, but at least clean towels could be provided. 4. The shower drain seemed clogged and water was having a hard time going away. Positive aspects: 1. Location: there is a great bakery nearby (called Tom Sawyer); a convenience store; a coin laundry; sentos and nice restaurants around. 2. The staff was nice and helpful and one of them spoke great english.

Nice small hotel in a very quite area, yet with convenient store 3 mins away. Subway is about 10-15 mins of walk, but this goes through nice narrow streets with low local houses and nearly no car, but several nice temples. My flight was largely delayed and the reception waited for me. And before the typhoon they allowed me to return and stay longer in case I cannot make it out of Kyoto, without any official booking or reservation fee.

I love everything about this property.

It’s spacious, it’s clean and tidy. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Very convenient for local buses and to the station. It was nearby the convenient stores and Onsen which I love going and all the attractions. Highly recommend.

No water in the fridge, no electric kettle. Shower booth very narrow and difficult to shower. Difficult to find - no Japanese website. Taxi ride to Kyoto station was long and expensive.
